You've already infected your developing literary taste with context-less postmodern. Either fight that pathogen with massive doses of texts with true literary value or it will turn cancerous and metastasize to every corner of your being.

>>9806732
Nope you're wrong I'm not going to read any other author^1 ever again and I will pretentiously talk about this book at any chance I get, because infinite JUST is the best book ever written.

I love this series. An actual positive sci-fi story where technology doesn't lead to an evil corrupt dystopia

Quick question for you guys on /lit/, do you listen to music when you read? I have always listened to music when I've read or had something audible going on but my Mother who reads an awful lot more than me thinks it is really weird to do so.

I guess I'm a bit weird when it comes to focusing on multiple things, I used to listen to audio books and do light reading at the same time and never had any trouble taking in both sets of information

He didn't because there are no mods here plus he's alright if he's reading Pushkin. Now if he was reading the libretto to Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov on the other hand...

Although if poetry counts, The Four Quartets by Eliot. Because I forgot how much I loved his work.

>>9809889
of course poetry counts, anon.

>>9809952
Well considering that the OP says "last BOOK" I wasn't sure. Any other Eliot or Pound fans in here? I think Pound's Cantos and Eliot's Four Quartets are some of the most beautiful things I have read, and I have a read a lot of goddamn poetry.
